About GHRI Ratings

X

Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.

Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.

This bottle was the most expensive model we tested

This bottle was the most expensive model we tested. It's made from stainless steel that does not have a plastic liner. Only the lid is plastic. The attached lid is rare on a metal water bottle. The large mouth of the bottle makes it easy to clean thoroughly by hand or in the dishwasher. The bottle weighs over 2 1/2 pounds when filled. Testers found the lid difficult to open. The wide shape of the bottle makes it very difficult to grasp, plus the thick lip makes it uncomfortable to sip from. It also dented in our drop test. In stainless only. nalgene-outdoor.com.
